Figured I would update this with my experience thus far.
Picked up a Mojave short time ago, and researched all the threads and companies for lifting it. Really liked the look of DirtGadgets lift and setup.
On their site, MetalCloak specifically says the 3.5 Gamechanger is not for the Mojave. Even though they still sell the front shock drop bracket to keep the shocks. When I called the rep wouldn't provide much info on what changed or what part had issues. (On this site I couldnt find any issue that DirtGadgets had, but Metalcloak was adamant with me on the phone it wouldnt work)
So I called and spoke with a local 4X4 shop that is a preferred Metalcloak installer. He was good enough to call the company and the rep told him that something with the springs and how they sit in a spring cup was not compatible. I run a machine shop, so I can make any spring seat or change in parts I need, but Metalcloak was really not providing a lot of detail to go on.
After some back and forth, I am going with Clayton springs and their rear track bar that has the bend to allow for more spare tire room (37"), and the rest of the parts metalcloak for the 3.5" lift.
Hopefully get everything on in about a month, and will update as it goes.
